The Chicago Bears have undergone a big offseason, making impactful moves through free agency, trades, and the 2025 NFL Draft. From high profile signings to the addition of young talent, the roster looks vastly improved on both sides of the ball.
Inside Look: 1920 Football Drive Reveals Draft Room Insight
In the latest episode of 1920 Football Drive, fans were given an exclusive behind the scenes look at the Bears draft operations. One particular moment stood out—GM Ryan Poles casually mentioned a player many fans may have forgotten: wide receiver Tyler Scott.
A Stacked Offense with a Surprising Inclusion
As Poles reviewed the roster and expressed excitement about the team’s new offensive weapons—including rookie tight end Colston Loveland and second-round wide receiver Luther Burden III—he noted that the Bears now have a “loaded offense.” Among the names listed, Poles included Tyler Scott.

Receptions: 18 on 33 targets
Receiving Yards: 173 (9.6 yards per catch)
Rushing Attempts: 7 for 41 yards (5.9 yards per carry)
Total touchdowns: 0
Despite modest production, Scott’s speed and versatility have kept him on the radar—though many believe he’s on the roster bubble heading into training camp.
What Poles Name Drop Could Mean
Poles decision to include Scott in the discussion about Chicago’s offensive plans raises eyebrows. While it could simply be a show of confidence in a young player, it may also suggest that Scott remains firmly in the team’s plans—or at least has a fighting chance to stick.
With a competitive wide receiver room, training camp will be a crucial proving ground for Scott. Whether he can carve out a role or not remains to be seen, but fans will now be paying closer attention thanks to the unexpected mention from the Bears GM.
